String style... PB vs 80/20

Don't quote me on this but a year or so ago I was scrutinizing a chart of various guitar string tensions. It was the 13's that were > 160. Seems like 11's were ~140.
My cheapo taylor came with 13's and felt like winch cables. Switched to 12's, they're better but the thought entered my mind to give 11's a whirl

Garland,

 I've always found Phosphor Bronze strings to be Warmer, more Mellow and darker sounding than 80/20 strings.
 80/20 strings are more Bell like and Bright.

ancient1, Derick, TonyKgull, blues90, I do get black, on me thumb with the PB's-

I just finished playing the 80/20's and they've been on since last night (about 12 hours now)- they do sound different, but not bad different, just different-

I also played J with the Rotosound strings- it too sounds different and they are PB's- but they have the unwound ends near the ball- again, not bad, just a bit different-

I have a set of Monel (Martin Retro) in 12-54 gauge. I had used those exclusively in 11-52 on my 00015M but recently changed to the Martin Flex Core 12-54's just out of curiosity- (they sound pretty good on it) vs the strings that came with it- whatever they were- I don't remember. The web site says Authentic Life Span in 12-54- recommended....

TonyKgull, says I should not fear taking my Martin to open mic- so does Mack Murphy who plays there-
but, man! It is so light it feels fragile - IDK- I would hate it, and me self, if the top separated from the sides

Garland,ancient1,Derick,TonyKgull,blues90,

Been as we are generally talking guitar strings.

I've been playing my Nylon string guitar for the past few days, thinking it's about time I changed the strings, was quite surprised how the price of the strings have gone up in the past few months from £7.00 to £14 per set.

ancient1, Derick, TonyKgull, blues90, beat on the Guild D240 (with 80/20's) yesterday- sounded pretty good- tuned down 1/2 step and sounded even gooder- still not PB's, but not half bad- I kind of like it for different-
